Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“All roads and streets in this state which have been or hereafter are kept up, maintained, or worked for a period of three years by the authority of a parish governing authority within its parish, or by the authority of a municipal governing authority within its municipality, shall be public roads or streets, as the case may be, if there is actual or constructive knowledge of such work by adjoining landowners exercising reasonable concern over their property.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The legal existence of tacit dedication is determined solely by the application of the statutory criteria as enumerated in La.R.S. 48:491. Tacit dedication does not require intent by the landowner to dedicate the road way if there has been, in fact sufficient maintenance without protest. However, token maintenance, or an occasional “brushing up” of a private road will not support a finding of tacit dedication.”
